Patented Nov. 6, 1906.

Application filed. December 16, 1905. Serial No- 292,084.

Colorado, have invented a new and useful Improvement in'Salt-and-Pepper-Cruet Holders, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements insalt-and-peppercruet holders, and has for its object to provide a devicethat is very simple and cheap in construction and one that can be easilyand quickly attached to any article desired.

Another object of my invention isto provide a cruet-holder that isespecially adapted to be used in connection with a lunch or din-' nerpail, as it can be easily and quickly attached to the pail without beingin the wa ways be on hand when wanted.

A further object of my invention is to provide a salt-and-pepper-cruetholder which is adapted to be made out of a single blank of sheet metal,so as to reduce the cost of manufacture.

A further object of my invention is to provide a salt-and-pepper-cruetholder with a hook member, so that it can be hooked over any articledesired, so as to support the same.

With these objects in view the invention consists of the novel featuresof construction, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter fullydescribed, and pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is aperspective view of the holder, showing it attached to the edge of thepail. Fig. 2 is a section taken through one of the holders. Fig. 3 is aplan view of the blank from which the holder is formed.

Referring to the drawings, A indicates a sheet of metal, which ispreferably formed of tin and is provided with outwardly-extending spacedlugs B and O at its ends. The bottom of the plate A is serrated, formings urs D, and arranged centrally of the plate are spaced openings E andF, through which the lugs B and C are adapted to pass and be bent backupon the sheet A when the ends of the plate A are bent over to formcylinders B and O. The spurs D are ada ted to be turned upwardly, so asto form a s eleton bottom for the cylinders, which are adapt ed toreceive the salt-and-peppe'r cruets, Projecting up centrally from theplate A is an arm G, which is adapted to be bent back u on itselfadjacent its end, forming a hook G which is adapted to be hooked on theedge of the pail H.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that I have provided asalt-and-peppercruet holder that is exceedingly simple and cheap inconstruction and one that will take up a very small space when in use.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a device of the kind described, comprising a metal plate having aserrated edge, ugs formed on the end of said plate adapted to passthrough openings in the plate whenthe ends of the plate are bent back toform cylinders, the spurs formed by the serrated edge adapted to beturned upwardly to form a bottom for the cylinders, and an armprojecting upwardly from said plate and back upon itse f to form a hookas set forth.
